Historic Trails Award
Scouts BSA
1911 requirements, effective January 1, 1911
Requirements
To earn the award, members of your unit must plan and participate in a historic activity. A unit historic activity requires members to:
1.
Locate a historic trail or site using https://tap.scouting.org/bsa-historic-trails-index/. Study materials regarding the historical aspect of the trail or site using council-provided pamphlets, web based resources, local historic societies, or the library.
2.
Hike or camp two days and one night along the trail or in the vicinity of the site.
3.
Cooperate with an adult group such as a historic society to restore and mark all or part of this trail or site. (This may be done during the hike or overnight camp.) Or cooperate with such a group to plan and stage a historic pageant, ceremony, or other public event related to this trail or site-such an event should be large enough to merit coverage by the local press.
4.
Your unit leader must then file the Historic Trails Award application with your council service center.
